This continuing education seminar will serve to provide guidance on the use of magnesium sulfate to control ventricular rate in patients presenting to the emergency department with atrial fibrillation and rapid ventricular response. The presentation will commence with a brief overview of atrial fibrillation including a discussion on the basic pathophysiologic mechanisms that underly the disease. The 2014 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline for the Management of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation will be reviewed for current recommendations on rate control agents in these patients. Attention will then shift towards the use of magnesium sulfate as a possible adjunct agent to usual atrioventricular nodal blockers to further reduce ventricular rate. The current evidence for the use of magnesium sulfate for patients presenting with atrial fibrillation in the emergency department setting exists in three randomized controlled trials. These trials will be evaluated for their strengths and limitations, and their results will be analyzed.

Precision medicine is a growing concept for the world of pediatric oncology. As we find more resistance to our current therapies, it is necessary that we find innovative ways to approach cancer. Precision medicine opens a new world of opportunities and new ways to attack cancerous cells by targeting specific mutations on an individual’s cancer. Pharmacy can play a significant role in precision medicine because of the education that pharmacists receive, especially molecular biology and genetics. While precision medicine is very innovative and has been shown to work, there are still many challenges. Once these barriers are overcome, precision medicine will be vastly used not only in the world of oncology, but many believe that it will become a new way to practice medicine.

Current literature suggests that shorter courses of antibiotics for soft tissue infections, uncomplicated cystitis, pyelonephritis, and uncomplicated gram-negative bacteremia are non-inferior to longer, traditional courses of therapy. This is important to consider because antibiotic resistance is quickly increasing. Additionally, there are many benefits to shorter courses of antibiotics such as decreased healthcare costs, decreased length of hospital stay, and decreased adverse effects. Many studies have determined that in the hospital, broad-spectrum antibiotics are used for extended durations based on clinician preferences rather than guidelines. Other infections, such as gram negative bacteremia do not have guidelines to follow, and lack clinical evidence to support an appropriate duration of therapy. Overall, pharmacists should be stewards of antibiotics and ensure patients are getting the appropriate regimens with the correct durations of therapy. The objective of this presentation is to recognize patients that are good candidates for short course antibiotics.

Vasopressor agents are a backbone of critical care pharmacy. Unfortunately, there are several limitations to our current therapies that leave us with more questions than answers when managing our hypotensive patients. However, there are not only new agents under investigation that will be discussed in this presentation, but also advancements in the fields of pharmacogenomics and lab testing to better guide our use of vasopressor therapies. The focus of this presentation will be on vasopressor therapies for treating patients with septic shock.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a well-known complication following orthopedic surgery. With various strategies for VTE prophylaxis recommended by current guidelines, the optimal strategy to minimize the risk of VTE as well as bleeding is unknown. This program will review the options for VTE prophylaxis following orthopedic surgery with a focus on the efficacy of aspirin in this patient population. While aspirin is a favorable option due to cost-effectiveness and wide availability, does it effectively reduce the risk of VTE as compared to standard anticoagulant therapy?

The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the American pediatric population increased in the early 2000s and is projected to continue increasing over the next few decades. The FDA-approved treatment options for pediatric patients with type 2 diabetes have historically been limited to metformin and insulin. Metformin is the first-line option for pediatric and adult patients with type 2 diabetes; however, metformin and insulin have not shown the same efficacy in the pediatric population that is demonstrated in adults with the disease. The ELLIPSE Trial investigated the efficacy and safety of the use of subcutaneous liraglutide in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes who were already on metformin with or without basal insulin therapy. This presentation will discuss the results of the ELLIPSE study, highlight other treatment options currently under investigation, and provide a review of type two diabetes mellitus in children and adolescents. The results of the ELLIPSE trial and emerging treatment options have the potential to make significant impact on children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes who struggle to achieve control of their disease.

This presentation will address questions surrounding appropriate acute management of asymptomatic hypertension for inpatients, specifically what current evidence shows and how current practices may not be appropriate. I will cover the varying definitions of asymptomatic hypertension, the dangers of acute overcorrection of elevated blood pressure, current recommendations, and the impact of educational interventions on prescribing practices. I will also address some of the potential causes of the discrepancy between practice and evidence and demonstrate how this can make changing prescribing culture more difficult. Attendees will come away with a greater understanding of the difficulties of enacting change in this particular population and with knowledge that will help them advocate for appropriate management of this condition at their own practice sites.

     Fasting as part of various cultural and religious practices can have an impact on metabolic health and may lead to various complications in patients with preexisting diabetes in particular those already undergoing treatment with antihyperglycemic agents. Having the conversation about cultural and religious eating habits, potential risks, and developing a treatment and monitoring plan with patients during time of fasting is imperative to providing optimal patient care and potentially avoiding life-threatening complications.

Liver disease patients present a confusing and challenging coagulation and bleed risk population. Once thought to be "auto-anticoagulated" due to chronic changes in INR, PT and other values, data suggest these patients are also at risk of thrombosis. Warfarin has traditionally been the anticoagulant of choice in liver disease patients with an indication for anticoagulation due to clinical experience, however this has not been formally studied and many challenges exist with warfarin use in this population. The direct acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are attractive oral anticoagulant options in many patients, however minimal data exist to support their use in moderate to severe liver disease patients. This presentation will explore the challenges and approach to anticoagulation in moderate to severe liver disease patients and the use of warfarin. Additionally, the presentation will cover available data for the DOACs in moderate to severe liver disease, including pharmacokinetic data and experience in small studies, and provide suggestions for navigating anticoagulation in this challenging patient population.
